Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    The Schindler's Factory Museum in Kraków is a deeply moving and educational visit. Located in the former enamel factory owned by Oskar Schindler, the museum offers an incredible insight into the horrors of World War II, the Jewish experience in Kraków and the effects of the war on Kraków.

    The museum is thoughtfully curated, with a mix of interactive exhibits, photographs, and personal stories that bring the past to life. You’ll learn about Schindler's role in saving numerous Jewish lives, as well as the broader context of life in occupied Poland during the war.

    What I really appreciated was the balance between historical detail and human emotion, providing not just facts, but the personal stories behind them.

    While it can get busy, especially during peak times, I found it well worth the time and effort. Make sure to allow at least a couple of hours to fully take in all the exhibits.

    If you’re in Kraków, this museum is an absolute must-visit. It offers more than just a historical account – it’s a deeply emotional experience that will stay with you long after you leave.

    Tips:
    Order your tickets beforehand
    Get a guided tour to full appreciate the exhibit
    The exhibit itself is a 35 min walk from the old town.

    I cannot recommend this place enough! I am an absolute junkie when it comes to horror things and attractions and this does not disappoint! I went with my sister who does not like to be scared so was proud when she agreed to do it with me. The bar its self is something so unique and fun to even just go in and then the fun begins! You are thrown into your own horror movie, or maybe for me those dark romance novels 😂. I loved being chased, and scared, but I do feel bad for the actors as they must of thought we were dumb as as we could not figure out how to get out 😂 so thank you for being patient with us! Bar man was lovely too!! Can’t wait to see the photos and anyone in the area, please go check this amazing place out 😁

    I was impressed by the professionalism of Paweł who conducted the tour in a very friendly manner. He gave me a deep insight into the life of the blind, there was time for open questions, both dail life situations and playful moments were presented. Playing goal ball with him was especially joyful

    If you want to relive your youth for an hour or two, then give this place a visit. It was like stepping back in time playing all the brilliant machines. Even though it’s on free play, you still get a buzz when you hit a free game. It was our 2nd visit and we love it.

    It is a very impressive historical site. The admission is 36 PLZ. Admission is free on Tuesdays. There is a lot of information and exhibitions. The visit can take a few hours. The venue is well organised and well managed. The information on the screens is duplicated in several languages. I would gladly visit again in future.

    We had so much fun there! There are plenty of machines and we spent 3 hours there (and didn’t want to go). It’s an arcade museum that has the games from the 90s and 00s, including Mario Kart, Daytona, House of Dead. Lots of pinball machines as well. Afternoon well spent there.

    We visited here on our last day to pass some time. Little did we know how good it was or how big it actually was.

    Fantastic insight into the history of the square you were standing or sitting in 10 mins before you entered the museum.

    Fascinating glimpse into how the square started, developed, and has now become.

    My only criticism is the lighting when trying to read any info,not is very dim and can be difficult, but that aside, we loved it.

    We started our exploration at the north of the old town so took the Barbican in as well as the Grunwald statue on the other side of the tram tracks
    The Barbican is actually closed but it’s still an impressive and well maintained historical building

    One of the best museums I've ever been to. You can find a great collection of original medieval instruments of torture there including items I had never seen anywhere else before. The owner is really an expert in his field and very knowledgable in history. He put a lot of expertise, effort and care in setting up the museum. You can really feel the medieval-like atmosphere of the place being situated in an ancient underground stone vault with old wooden beams, metal doors and eerie lighting.

    The Galicia Jewish Museum tells the stories of the Galician Jews through photos. There is an exhibit of photos taken by the museum's founder when he visited Poland in 1981. The permanent exhibit consists of photos which document Jewish life and buildings in Galicia today. I like this juxtaposition of two photos in the photo I posted. On the left, you can see the grave of 7 people, 6 Jews and the Catholic Pole who hid them during the Nazi occupation. On the right, you can see a stable no one will buy because Polish collaborators in the farmhouse on that property attacked Jews and turned them into the Nazis, who murdered them.
